Australian retail samples of nine beef, six lamb, four veal and two mutton cuts were purchased from 10 retail outlets (butchers and supermarkets) in different socio-economic areas of Sydney and Melbourne. The lean and fat components were analysed for contents of total and individual fatty acids. The content of total fatty acids was less than 5g/100g edible meat in the lean component of all cuts analysed. Saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids comprised, on average, 40% and 42% respectively of total fatty acids in the lean component of red meat cuts. The saturated fatty acid content of the lean component of …

This study aimed to update data on the gross composition Australian red meat to reflect changes in butchering practices since the 1980s and 1990s when the current values were derived. Australian retail samples of fifteen beef, eleven lamb, four veal and two mutton cuts were purchased from 10 retail outlets (butchers and supermarkets) in different socio-economic areas of Sydney and Melbourne. For both raw and cooked samples, mean external fat width (mm) was measured and the average percentage of separable internal, external and total fat, lean and waste was determined by dissection of each cut. For raw beef, total separable …

Effects Of Defaunation And Dietary Nitrogen Source On Sodium, Potassium, Iron And Zinc In The Rumen Fluid, Plasma And Wool Of Lambs, Mehmet Özdemi̇r, Mi̇yase Çinar, Seyfullah Hali̇loğlu, Abdullah Eryavuz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of defaunation, and the addition of urea and sulfur in the replacement of plant protein (PP) sources on concentrations of Na, K, Zn and Fe in the ruminal fluid, blood plasma and wool of lambs. Forty male Ramlic lambs, 2.70 ± 0.30 months of age, and weighing approximately 16.44 ± 0.41 kg, were used. Lambs were divided into 4 groups as follows: faunate + control diet (FC), defaunate + control diet (DC), faunate + experimental diet (FE), and defaunate + experimental diet (DE). The control diet contained plant protein as a N …

Plasma Ascorbic Acid Levels In Lambs With Coccidiosis, Şi̇ma Şahi̇nduran, Kenan Sezer, Tülay Büyükoğlu, Bayram Ali̇ Yukari, Meti̇n Koray Albay

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study evaluated 30 lambs, 20 naturally infected with coccidia oocysts (infected group) and 10 healthy lambs (control group). Blood samples were collected from both groups for evaluation of ascorbic acid values in plasma and blood cells analysis. Mean plasma ascorbic acid values in the infected group were lower than those in the control group (0.76 ± 0.19 and 2.00 ± 0.58 mg/dl, respectively). A decrease in erythrocyte, haemoglobin and haematocrit values and an increase in leukocyte values were determined.


The Pathologic And Bacteriologic Comparison Of Pneumonia In Lambs, Ertan Oruç Jan 2006

The Pathologic And Bacteriologic Comparison Of Pneumonia In Lambs, Ertan Oruç

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The correlations between the bacteriologic agent of lamb pneumonia and its pathologic characters were investigated in this study. Pneumonia was detected in 262 (35.41%) of 740 diseased or dead lambs. Pathogenic bacteria were isolated in 114 cases (14.96% of all lamb deaths and 43.51% of all pneumonias). Lung lesions were histopathologically described as acute-catarrhal (17.56%), catarrhal-purulent (14.50%), purulent-necrotic (9.54%), fibrinous (26.72%), fibrinous-necrotic (5.73%), interstitial (18.32%), or verminous pneumonia (7.63%). In bacteriological studies, Mannheimia haemolytica (56.14%), E. coli (24.56%), and Pasteurella multocida (10.52%) were detected as important bacterial agents that caused different pneumonic lesions in lambs.
